The problem isn't the AI, the issue is that the elites are trying to horde it and keep it from us little people. If we are to have agency, having personal ownership over local AI, collectively owned AI, and regulations, are all key to ensuring that democracy and egalitarianism is secure.

The elite will not willingly surrender power, especially there is a void that they can colonize. Ordinary people like us should fill the vacuum, to deny the elite from having total control over AI.

    One of the reasonable things with "free" markets is that manufactures are just going to keep making RAM, year after year. So these AI data centers have to keep purchasing the bulk of new RAM in perpetuity til the end of time OR eventually the dam will break and they lose control. I put my bet on the second option.

    Elites keeping things to themselves, tale as old as time. That's why they makes the lllms computationally expensive (requiring huge data centers mean but really that's just their level now). But someone will figure out a better algorithm that we'll be able to do on our phone one day. Then next generation comes out.

    So the issue isn't technology but the elites eh? All commie talk I know, can't wait for that kid in diapers now end up with the best way to make them learn with minimal requirements. Course by then the next thing will be taking off. Oh well. When you make under 100k and they can throw billions at an issue it's nearly impossible....but I can't wait for someone to open source something to make it all worthless for monetary gains while the elite are holding onto it hard. Maybe it'll happen maybe not oh well.
